State of the Knits

I did do some knitting on spring break, but I was also consumed by a day full of watchin' the neph, and, as we all know, three year-olds are not usually entertained by pointy sticks, unless they're doing the pointing.

The Pirate Hat is done, but in need of a serious blocking. Hopefully tonight.

I finished one of my "sweet socks" - the needles are now free for round 2 of the madness, which starts Thursday.

I am almost done with the back of hubbo's sweater. Why are men so big? And mine's not even *that* big.

I knit up the second skein of the grey alpaca scarf. One more to go!

And some other socks saw some action - I started hubbo's second Trekking sock, I'm ready for the gusset on the Regia Bamboo sock, and I'm in the heel flap of the Feather and Fan sock.

I'm feeling pretty good about knitting up things I've already started, especially the socks. I have so many pairs close to being finished (four with one sock done, one half way done), that I'd like to have some new pairs!

However, I am feeling the urge for the spring/summer knits. I'll hold out until the end of round 2 of the madness, but I'm not going to be responsible for much past that. Maybe I can hold out until April. Maybe.
